Red Tail at Sunrise

Gallery: AvianPosted June 9, 201177 views7 comments

Found him on a tree stump in a clearing. I prepared for a flight shot but he stayed for several vertical full frames, then dived away from me to take a rodent into a tree. Full low sun. Slight crop on right.

Your LP looks very nice Roger, I especially like the 3D look & light on the bird here.
Sharp details, great colors, and I like the slight tilt of the head as it looks up..
Well done!
